A carefree soldier king in the city

Chapter 719 Happy cooperation

Finally, it was time for dinner. The eight of them sat in a circle and enjoyed the fragrant bread, snacks, ice-cold beer, and soft drinks that Ge Dawei had bought.

Seeing Ge Dawei wolfing down a chicken leg, Yang Qin couldn't help but tease him, "Dawei, can you eat slower? Nobody's going to take it from you."

With his mouth full of chicken, Ge Dawei said, "Nonsense, if you don't eat it now, it'll be gone."

"Sigh!" Chao Bufan sighed and said, "Dawei, people won't gain more weight or grow a centimeter or two by eating more, and they won't lose a piece of flesh or become a centimeter or two shorter by eating less. Why eat like a starving ghost? It's so unseemly!"

"That's not necessarily true. If you don't eat more, how can you make up for the energy you've lost, right?"

“That’s true, then I’ll give you mine too!” Chao Bufan handed over the chicken leg that he had already taken two bites of.

"Thank you! You should eat it yourself! I don't want to eat your saliva."

During an impromptu entertainment program, the eight people happily enjoyed a sumptuous dinner together. Without worrying about polluting the environment, they cleaned up together afterward, with Wang Dakeng in charge of garbage disposal.

After some playful banter, the eight of them returned to their temporary lodging—a small wooden cabin by the sea—chatting and laughing.

＊＊＊＊＊＊

To avoid attracting attention, Colonel Tian Baguang changed out of his military uniform and into casual clothes, but the military bearing he had cultivated over the years was still faintly visible.

The car stopped in front of the small wooden house by the sea. He glanced at the five cars next to him, then at the old, unremarkable house before him, and hesitated.

He couldn't understand why the highest decision-making level of the country insisted on dragging a few ordinary young people into this dangerous plan; it seemed so unlike the usual style of the decision-making authorities. He also wondered what had gotten into the old man; instead of opposing it, he had shown unprecedented support—was it simply because his good-for-nothing nephew was involved?

Although Dawei is his nephew, ever since Dawei dropped out of school and entered society early, he has never treated his nephew well. It's such a pity that such a good person has been "wasted". If it weren't for the old man's repeated instructions, he would have already sent him to the army for "complete reformation".

However, out of a sense of duty, he reluctantly got out of the car and went to knock on the door.

Knock! Knock! Knock?

A moment later, the door to the main house opened, and out came a handsome young man who was over 180 centimeters tall and had a very charming smile.

He must be extraordinary!

"Welcome, Colonel Tian Baguang, please come in!" Chao Bufan greeted him with a pleasant voice and a charming smile.

However, from the moment he entered the living room, Colonel Tian had an inexplicable premonition that these five men and three women were no ordinary young people, he could swear to God!

Most people would not remain so calm and even have a smile on their face after learning who they are.

"Dear Colonel Tian Baguang! Hello, welcome!" Ge Dawei greeted him with a warm smile, after all, this was his "cousin-in-law".

"You little brat, you think you're all grown up now? Call me uncle." Colonel Tian Baguang glared and scolded.

"Yes, Uncle." Ge Dawei looked weak and listless, as if he hadn't eaten.

"What are you saying! You're heartless, aren't you?" Colonel Tian Baguang sprinted at Ge Dawei.

Ge Dawei had anticipated this and jumped back in time, chuckling as he said, "Uncle, you wouldn't really hold a grudge against an insignificant junior like me, would you?"

"You little brat, if it weren't for the fact that you're my nephew, I'd really like to kick you," Colonel Tian Baguang said irritably.

"Please have some tea!" Tang Qianqian brought over a cup of freshly brewed tea.

"Thank you!" Colonel Tian Baguang then realized that he had been too out of line, actually arguing with a junior in front of so many people, which was really unbecoming of him.

"Hmm! This tea tastes good!" Colonel Tian Baguang gulped down most of it in one go, clearly thirsty. "I am Colonel Tian Baguang, the commander of this operation, and I have come here specifically to discuss some related matters with you."

In fact, he didn't believe these idle kids could accomplish anything, nor did he expect them to be of any help. He would be grateful if they didn't make things worse!

However, for Colonel Tian Baguang, who was loyal and dutiful, although he was dissatisfied, he could not ignore the task assigned to him. Out of helplessness, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and come to give a perfunctory answer so that he could have an explanation.

However, after nearly three hours of intensive discussion, he, who had initially opposed the idea and was not optimistic about these young men, made a complete 180-degree change of opinion and naturally began to be satisfied with his nephew. At least he no longer argued with him.

These eight people were so incredibly clever that he no longer dared to doubt his father's words or the investigation report from the Bureau of Investigation.

"In short, I hope we can cooperate well in this operation!" Without realizing it, Colonel Tian Baguang found himself actually looking forward to working with them.

"Of course, we will definitely cooperate! Colonel Tian Baguang!"

Unfortunately, Colonel Tian Baguang failed to notice the underlying meaning in these people's words.

"From now on, you shall call me Colonel Tian, ​​not Colonel Tian Baguang!" Colonel Tian Baguang emphasized repeatedly.

“Yes, Heavenly Laughter.” The five young men nodded emphatically in agreement.

Colonel Tian Baguang finally breathed a sigh of relief. Seeing that it was almost time to go back, he stood up to take his leave. "In short, I hope that no matter what happens, you will remember what I said. Also, we will do our best to protect your lives, so please rest assured!"

"We understand, thank you Heavenly Smile!"

Colonel Tian Baguang gave the eight young men a friendly smile and then left. However, after Colonel Tian Baguang left, the five boys all dropped their "pretentious" demeanor and returned to their usual carefree and irresponsible ways.

"Looks like this game is going to be really interesting!" Zhou Weihua said, his legs dangling high on the back of the sofa, his head resting comfortably on Yang Qin's lap.

“Yeah! I just wonder if this ‘Heavenly Laughter’ will end up crying on Earth. Dawei, you don’t mind me saying this, do you?” Wang Dakeng asked with interest.

Ge Dawei shrugged and picked up the tea in front of him to drink.

Wang Dakeng sat on the sofa, elbows resting on Chao Bufan's shoulder, and asked, "What do you say? How should we cooperate with our 'lovely allies'?"
